    DNA Defense

    by Andrew McCaskey
    Technology Catches Up with Finance

    Television drama notwithstanding, the announcement that scientists in Israel have been able to create DNA materials from fragments, good enough to impersonate the DNA of another individual has some serious impact on the legal system – which has for the past twenty years set expectations among the public and popular press. It turns out that it’s not as air tight an evidence package as previously thought.

    DNA evidence is easier to forge at a crime scene than fingerprints. Defense lawyers have had a field day with fingerprint evidence for years, with the ability to introduce an element of doubt in judge or jury and acquit their client. It looks like DNA is headed in the same direction.

    It might be such a bad thing. The reality was that the series of tests typically seen in a single CSI episode would bankrupt the entire budget of most small town or county police agencies, and were not nearly as cost-effective or accurate as Hollywood wished to portray. {sharethis}

      Joost Barely Back on iPhone

      by Andrew McCaskey
      Back on the Radar

      Joost has pulled back from their near death experience with a promising app for the iPhone. If their content was compelling they might have a case – but I give them a Fail.

      CNET had an overall positive article on the re-emergence of Joost, noting that with a catalog of 40,000 videos there was a remarkable change in tone from the former video offerings on the iPhone – namely skateboard tricks from YouTube and assorted nonsense. As we have seen for the past two years at Slashdotreview / SDRNews, there are some YouTube content gems, but they are hard to find. And, as the ongoing task of locating and publicizing video content shows, the volume may be increasing but I am not sure that that quality is keeping pace.

      Joost has the same problem. Insisting on a stand alone client, plus a slow beta rollout (where I doled out a few hundred custom invites from SDRNews) added just enough aggravation that the smooth introduction of Hulu’s browser based service and superior content.

      Joost is going to get some near term press. They better move some higher quality content in than the Victoria’s Secret Runway and Sex Line Grandma that were the picks to demonstrate their iPhone app. If that is the best they can do for content, they’ll get what they deserve in the marketplace. Namely, a quick trip to the same place the Joost download client went.

        The Final Straw – VoIP on Airplanes

        by Andrew McCaskey
        The deterioation of the flying experience for the past thirty years is fast closing on the zenith. Just when you think that it could not get worse, along comes the confirmation that, once again, bits are bits.

        The Phweet VoIP system that passes short URL through Twitter connections is all that’s required, along with the Flash plugin in the browser.

        But, much as the comments surrounding telecommuting a few days ago, the fact that the job can be done remotely is a separate question from should the job be done remotely. In a similar manner, the fact that VoIP is possible, is, in this case irrelevant.

        Business travel – with the Bose headphones, laptop, iPod and DVD – is an exercise in attempted insulation at any rate. The idea of a seatmate railing on about his weekend golf game, travel plans, deal negotiation or office gossip is close to the final straw.

        Even in business or first class, the unintended consequences of touchscreens and video games are sufficient to allow the guy in the row behind you to keep punching you in the seat back for the entire flight.

        The only upside from all this airline turmoil is that the extra weight will force United to finally remove those bulky VCR’s from under the seats on Boeing 777′s that steal the underseat room of every third seat. You can only hope.

        I guess there is some upside. When we finally go to economy standing flights (straphangers) maybe the VoIP background chatter will pass for in flight entertainment.

            Disruption, Again

            by Andrew McCaskey
            It was only a mild co-indicidence that there was a mention of the video “10mph” , concerning the two adventurers who quit their day jobs and drove a Segway across the country in today’s Fortune story about YouTube.

            We had featured the film trailer as the video just a few days ago.

            It’s interesting, though, to contemplate the impact of the shift from exclusive short form (2-3 minute clips) into longer form content by YouTube.

            It all traces back to advertisers. If you can describe your audience and demonstrate that their involvement is consistent and loyal, the length of the content matters little. In fact, with with being the limiting factor in much of our society, the ability to retain a long form audience demonstrates real value.

            What is disruptive is the fact that user generated content – and YouTube – could be the final method of distribution that will enable aspiring film makers to crack the marketplace, and get the distribution for their work that is lacking otherwise.

            Couple this with the iPhone and AppleTV, and there is the potential for a huge breakout by an independent producer. And it will only take a few – one to break ground, the other two to demonstrate that it is repeatible.

In fact, with with being the limiting factor in much of our society, the ability to retain a long form audience demonstrates real value. What is disruptive is the fact that user generated content - and YouTube - could be the final method of distribution that will enable aspiring film makers to crack the marketplace, and get the distribution for their work that is lacking otherwise. Couple this with the iPhone and AppleTV, and there is the potential for a huge breakout by an independent producer. And it will only take a few - one to break ground, the other two to demonstrate that it is repeatible.

                Just a Fan of Hank

                by Andrew McCaskey
                I have to confess that I have never been able to sit through an entire episode of “King of the Hill”. Just too realistic, I guess.

                But, you have to admire the inspiration that it provided to the fellow who allegedly scammed over $50,000 from E-Trade, Schwab and others by creating accounts and then pocketing the two to 99 cents that got deposited randomly to the bank account as a verification of the transfer for the account.

                It seems that that fellow was a fan of “King of the Hill” and populated his automated script with charater names from the series.

                And that was what the Secret Service found just a little bit suspicious when the same names turned up on thousands of accounts, all pointing back to a single IP address.

                With luck, he’ll get a cell that has cable TV with “King of the Hill” reruns.

                    The Coming iPod Slump

                    by Andrew McCaskey
                    Hard to believe that the growth of the iPod has slowed to a crawl – but it had to happen.

                    If you are going to have an iPod, you pretty much already have one. Other than the general growth of population (income adjusted to those who can afford the iPod) the market is just about saturated.

                    Apple is not out of touch, though – in addition to excellent growth on the laptop and computer front ( with a lot of bungling help from Microsoft Vista) the success of the iPhone and the 75% market share of the iTunes music store, there is a lot going on in the iPod Touch.

                    Now that we all have razors – the money is to be made on the blades.

                    =============

                    More on the 31 Day project. I know what my day is – at least unofficially – but even that can’t be shared just yet. Sorry for the early jump the gun alert – but you are going to like what you hear once I get the information.

                        by Andrew McCaskey
                        The Melodyne plug-in for high end audio workstations seems to be somewhere between $250 and $600 for the software – according to the thrity second Google search. The video today shows how the tools may be used to change the instrumental recording of a single note, embedded in a chord.

                        You could call it the Photoshop of audio performance. And, it reminds me of the now famous Dove Soap You-Tube video of an attractive woman without makeup shows in sixty seconds the transformation into an incredible billboard model whose image has been totally tweaked into unbelievable perfection.

                        A quick tour through Guitar Center or Sweetwater’s catalog indicates there is plenty of market for this sort of equipment in the audio realm. In fact, for professional podcasting work I use ProTools with various plug-ins.

                        An aspiring musician or performer has a high bar to reach indeed if that standard had been set.
                        Just like sports figures that forgo steroids, “unplugged” is still going to have the respect. But plugged is a lot of fun to listen to and create.

                        ———————————–
                        ANNOUNCEMENT
                        ———————————–
                        I just got a call today concerning what is probably the most exciting activity I have ever been able to offer as a part of the podcast. I mean like in that past three and a half years. Ever.

                        Within the next few days – certainly by the middle of next week, I should be receiving a package of paperwork – and once that gets signed and I have an official start date I will be able to share the details with you.

                        I can tell you this – There will be 31 days where you will want to make sure that you do not miss a single episode of SDRNews. I’ll give you the details as soon as I can do so. The 31 days will start soon.

The video today shows how the tools may be used to change the instrumental recording of a single note, embedded in a chord. You could call it the Photoshop of audio performance. And, it reminds me of the now famous Dove Soap You-Tube video of an attractive woman without makeup shows in sixty seconds the transformation into an incredible billboard model whose image has been totally tweaked into unbelievable perfection. A quick tour through Guitar Center or Sweetwater's catalog indicates there is plenty of market for this sort of equipment in the audio realm. In fact, for professional podcasting work I use ProTools with various plug-ins. An aspiring musician or performer has a high bar to reach indeed if that standard had been set. Just like sports figures that forgo steroids, "unplugged" is still going to have the respect. But plugged is a lot of fun to listen to and create. ----------------------------------- ANNOUNCEMENT ----------------------------------- I just got a call today concerning what is probably the most exciting activity I have ever been able to offer as a part of the podcast. I mean like in that past three and a half years. Ever. Within the next few days - certainly by the middle of next week, I should be receiving a package of paperwork - and once that gets signed and I have an official start date I will be able to share the details with you. I can tell you this - There will be 31 days where you will want to make sure that you do not miss a single episode of SDRNews. I'll give you the details as soon as I can do so. The 31 days will start soon. (/wp-images/YTlogo.gif) Click to view videos submitted or recommended by other SDR podcast listeners. . .

                            Good News in Transmission

                            by Andrew McCaskey
                            Two greatly encouraging articles today – one, the 100Gbps backbone test by Comcast using Wave Division multiplexing on the same fiber as a currently operating 40Gbps link, and the other – from a Verizon study – on what they call P4P – enhanced Peer to Peer transmission that can increase speed and capacity up to 600 percent compared with traditional P2P schemes.

                            Un-fettered by the regulatory and business model aspects – it’s a real thrill to contemplate the arrival, within a few years of routine 100Mbps DOCIS 3.0 service that will be permitted by these backbone technologies in the cable world. As the slow roll out of fiber to the home favored by Verizon continues, those sorts of speeds in the transmission world are nothing but good news.

                            The challenge will be: Who benefits ? This incredible capacity, held up under net neutrality – is going to be a boon to all . Slapped under proprietary content walls, the balance of power will slip once again from the edges of the network, where innovation occurs, to a hierarchical walled garden. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen ,and that the political will to make sure that it does not emerges by fall.
